What are the utilities provided in HP MSA1500 SAN for configuration of MSA?

The HP StorageWorks 1500  Modular Smart Array is a 2Gb Fibre Channel SAN attached 2U controller shelf that connects to both enterprise-class SCSI and Serial ATA (SATA) disk enclosures. HP recommends SCSI drives for intensive heavy I/O requirements while SATA drives should only be used in archived, reference, or "near on-line" disk-to-disk backup configurations. This combination provides customers with a low-cost, high capacity storage solution.

Depending on the operating system and the preference of user interfaces, use one of the these provided utilities to configure the MSA.

The CLI is accessed by connecting the serial port to a host computer or laptop to the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA.

Default settings are Bits per second: 19200, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1 and  Flow control: None.

The ACUi includes easy to use configuration wizards. It provides a graphical user interface view of HP array configurations. The ACU allows the setting of access rights to MSA storage by hosts.It also supports local or remote access. The ACU runs online (from the server) in Windows and Linux environments.It also runs offline (from a CD) in other ProLiant server environments, such as NetWare. When creating arrays, the ACU provides suggested settings.
